It was an amazing experience. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with several options for swimming and laying out. It was great to be able to stay at a hotel where we could access the ocean directly. We never had issues finding beach chairs. The staff was incredibly nice and the food was excellent. Would love to return here again someday! ##### Jessica Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick 29 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was exceptional – the room, food, service, staff, facilities, and location.

Nice beach setup. Very big and more suited to families. Don’t think we have ever seen more babies, didn’t bother us but be prepared for a lot of baby strollers. Only disappointment was food. Breakfast buffet is excellent but dinner is at best mediocre. Problem is the restaurants cater to all inclusive guests and a la carte, which in this case meant ok service and disappointing food. Also Malia, the nearby town, is strictly bars and nightclubs, zero charm. Agios Nikalos 30 minutes away much nicer. ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joao Paulo 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful hotel, great family atmosphere with the most down to earth staff.

Everything suggested it was a peaceful, couple-friendly place — perfect for celebrating. The reality could not have been further from that. When we arrived, there were children running around everywhere. Walking to our room, we passed hundreds of children, overcrowded areas, sun loungers blocking the paths, and even a dirty nappy right outside our door. It felt completely over capacity and nothing like the relaxing escape we’d been promised. We decided to at least try a cocktail before making any decisions, but the bar area was just as chaotic — yet again, swarms of children running around unsupervised. At that point, we cancelled our stay and booked another hotel immediately. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic, or special occasion stay, this is not the place. Completely misleading advertising and a very disappointing experience ##### Natalie Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very family friendly, comfortable hotel Lovely resort, incredibly family friendly. Kids club is great if child is over 3 years old. Very relaxing stay, only downside is beach is quite rocky compared to others visited in Crete, but you can always use the pool. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 14 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay with our 2 year old. The property is well kept and staff is excellent. Enough dinner options (included in halfboard is the buffet or a discount in the other restaurants). Pool was great and it felt like a small village. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. The resort is a little outside of the village and we rented a car for a few days to explore part of the island. ##### Amy Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bosh 21 Jul 2023 Excellent place to stay.

Very comfortable stay, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pools. Good place to stay for a relaxing family holiday. One minor downside is the beach, which is not the best around for accessibility to the water for kids. But largely made up for by the rest of the experience. Would recommend. ##### Erik Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina 19 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing 5 star resort in a human scale.
